Jealousy killed the girl.
When friendship hurts.
There is this girl whom I thought was my friend. But lately, talking to her is like getting stabbed in the heart, literally. I went on for awhile thinking how I’ve been such a good friend to her, and she to me. But all of a sudden, she has turned into the most perfect human being in her own eyes.
One day, I asked her advice on career and personal matters and at the end of the conversation, I found myself feeling worse than before. Her insults were not even subtle, or the type that were hidden under sweet, syrupy words, it was more like, “Oh for me, I would do this and do that because I am just such a perfect person with a perfect life and you on the other hand is scum of the earth…blah, blah, blah”.
Self-righteousness is pure torture to be subjected to especially when you know the person’s past. I am not ready to label this as a toxic friendship yet but it has caused me emotional distress and a whole lot of confusion.
